The South Carolina Phosphate Commits
sion has returned to Charleston from Port
Royal, having completed its inspection of
the phosphate industries at and around
Beaufort.
Charleston is inflicted with gang of foot
pads and highway thieves. A few days ago
a little girl on her way from school was
robbed by ruffianly negro of her little sill
yer watch and gold ring. n
Charleston is to be made a permanent
recruiting point for the United States army.
Lieut.. Hutton, who arrived there ten days
ago, is getting things IN shape for opening
the station the early part of next month
probably about Nov. s. A detachment of
soldiers will be stationed there this week.
There is something wrong somewhere,
says the Charleston Ne,CS and Courier.
Cotton that should come to Charleston for
shipment to Eastern spinners by some
hocus-pocus of gigantic railroad syndcates
is now forwarded by rail, and ct rates, too,
that cannot pay the railroad lines. Last
year and in previous years, a large guam
tity of compressed cotton came to Charles
ton by the South Carolina, Northeastern
and Charleston and Savannah railways
from Atlanta, and from Montgomery and
Selma, Ala, for shipment by sail vessels
from this port to Boston for New England
spinners. Through rates from Atlanta to
New England towns have been reduced Soc
per bale. The rate from Charleston to
Boston of SOC. per bale makes the whole rate
only fraction less than the through rate
from Atlanta by rail. 1t seems clear that
the through all-rail rate from Atlanta is too
low, or that the railroad freight rate from
Atlanta to Charleston is too high, or that
the rate by sail vessel from Charleston to
Boston is not low enough.

Griffin is excited over the rumor that its
Mobile and Girard railroad stock worth
$3.50 is to be converted into Georgia Mid
land and Gulf railroad stock, worth only
15c. on the dollar. When the Georgia Mid
land was about to be built, the Griffin City
Council, in order TO encourage the enter
prise decided to convert its Mobile and Gil
rard stock into Georgia Midland stock. The
Mobile and Girard stock was accordingly
sold for 100000 This money was used in the
purchase of Georgia Midland stock, for
which par was paid by the committee. The
facts are, says the Griffin Stul, that before
the Georgia Midland idea was conceived the
Mobile and Girard stock was almost value
less The building of the Georgia
Midland, it is claimed, caused the
Mobile and Girard stock to advance to
its present value. The Georgia Midland
now profits by the advance. In giving this
encouragement, and in this manner, to the
Midland, the City Council did not propose
to take into consideration the value of the
Midland stock. The intention was to aid in
obtaining better transportation facilities.
Had values remained as they were at the
time of the Councils resolution two years
ago, matters would, perhaps, have gone on
serenely; but subsequent fluctuations have
prompted ten citizens TO file an injunction
to restrain the committee from Council
from transferring the Mobile and Girard
stock. The case will be brought up for trial
at the next term of court in November.

THE PROPOSED CONSOLIDATION.
The Com mittee Well Pleased With
What 1t Saw.

Messrs. j. H. Montgomery, of Birming
ham, Ala, representing the Birmingham,
Georgia and Florida; r. S. McFarlin, of La
Grange, representing the Macon, LaGrange
and Birmingham; Wallace, of Atlanta, rep
resenting the Birmingham and Atlantic Air
Line, and Watt, of Griffin, who were ap-
pointed a committee to look into the scheme
of consolidation which was proposed at the
Atlanta conference, were in the Office
of the Airline all day yesterday looking
over the plans and profile of the road, with
the engineers and builders. This morning
they will start out on horseback, and ride
over the entire line as far as Dublin, and
after they have made up their report
meeting of the directors of the different
roads will be called, and the consolidation
will probably be contaminated. The
gentlemen seemed to be well
satisfied with what they saw, and the indi
cations are that their report will insure the
combination of the companies. They met
Hon. 2. w. Meldrim and Mr.. H. NJ. Conner
last night, and it is thought that plans are
on foot to include the Savannah and West
ern in the consolidation. If this should be
done the Birmingham and Atlantic
would absorb all the opposition, and the
new company would undoubtedly complete
the road from Savannah to Birmingham as
soon as possible.

MERCURY VERY FITFUL.
A Drop of 80 Degrees to be Followed

A Drop of 80 Degrees to be Followed
by an Upward Turn.
The cold wave which struck here Tues
day night got under full Roadway yesterday
and mercury dropped from SO Tuesday af-
ternoon to so last night, fall, of So in
twenty-four hours. The mean temperature
yesterday was O. below the average for fif-
teen years. The high barometer area passed
OF the New England coast last night, and is
followed by low area.
The cold wave may be ssaid to have col
lapsed and warmer weather may be ex-
pected to-day. The rains reported through
out the cotton belt have checked the full
force of the wave. The lowest temperature
reported last night was 26' at st. Vincent,
MINI. While the cold was not as severe as
was expected it kept the coal dealers hust-
ling. Everybody wanted to be prepared
for the snap, and the dealers had all they
could do to fill their regular orders. There
will probably be a let up to-day unless
mercury takes au unexpected turn down
ward. The indications sent out from
Washington last night were: Fair weather
preceded by light rains.

especially in view of the notable fact that
only five of the II lines show a decrease.

A Terrible Crime.

RosEBURG, Or, May l7.-Mrs.
Rosa Bruckham, living six miles
South of this city, was found dead
early this morning on the banks of
the Umpqua river, few hundred
yards from the residence Of her
father, Stephen Leinbeck. Her
throat was cut from ear to ear and
she had deep wounds on her wrists.
The affair is mysterious. The par
ents try TO create the impression
that she committed suicide, but cir
cumstances point to the fact that
she was murdered in a barn near
the house and the body carried to
the river. The affair has created
great excitement IN the neighbor
hood. There is well-founded
report that the woman's condition
would vereYealed to her husband,
who was about to return from the
mines, that she had been unfaith
full. The theory is that the murder
is on account Of incest.

The Grent Monopoly.

TOLEDO, o. May ia plan is
OH foot at Lima, 1t is declared to or
ganize an oil exchange to oppose
the Standard Company. The plans
have not yet been perfected, but
many of the leading men in the
Lima oil fields are interested. ALI
are angry at the last cut of oil and
the lowering Of the price to 273 cts.
The leaders claim that under the
Inter State Commerce law they
could obtain equal rates with the
Standard, and that they could COM
pete with the Standard in the sale
of oil in the large cities of the
North and West. They claim that
oil is worth a dollar a barrel for
fuel and that the Standard has
cleared $20,000,0O0 on oil already
purchased in the Ohio fields. All
the producers will be made stock
holders in the exchange and if
necessary pipe lines will be built
and a refinery erected probably at
Toledo.

A New Method Of Account
Keeping

The retail grocers of the East are
adopting a new way of keeping ac-
counts with customers. 4 small
book Of coupons ranging from one
cent to dollar is furnished to the
customer and is charged to him.
When he orders goods he tears out
coupons to the value of the order
in the presence of the grocer or his
clerk, and then destroys them.
When a So or SO book of cou
pons is reduced to the covers, it is
good evidence that goods to the
value it represented have been pur-
chased. It amounts to the same
thing as paying spot cash for every
order, but the customers have the
privilege of paying for the coupon
book when it is used up There
are quite a good many advantages
to be mentioned in favor of this
system, and it will probably super
cede in a great measure the old
style of keeping accounts.-Silver
State.
